Ack

IIUC it can be null, only if `uuid` was null since glib memory

Ok, but the documentation doesn't explicitly state what `g_memdup2` returns
on failure, I checked it manually and it terminates the application on
failure. So indeed this check is not necessary.

I think it may be worth clarifying that it can also return false if

Hence, I think this is not needed since `g_memdup2` will terminate the
application if memory allocation fails and no return value is provided then.

Thanks,
Dorinda.
